Comic rich little was a staple on television variety shows in the 1960s and '70s. The man of 200 voices became popular for his impressions of politicians and celebrities, from Richard Nixon to Carol Channing.

As he and his audience grew older, though, calls from the networks grew less frequent.

Mr. Little now divides his time between a regular performance schedule in Las Vegas, touring, and writing his memoir, titled "People I've Known and Been." He's also recording a spoof of Frank Sinatra's "Duets."
